Harvey Korman read Tim Conway’s Emmy speech and brought down the house. The clip shows that Tim was not only a gifted performer, capable of making an entire studio audience laugh, but also had a way with the written word. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear Tim’s speech read by Harvey and to see the audience’s reaction to it.

The Carol Burnett Show is one of television's most beloved and iconic shows. Even decades after the show went off the air, its zany, off-the-wall characters and skits still have people laughing. The show’s cast included legendary comedic actors like Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

While it was titled The Carol Burnett Show, and she was the main character, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman often stole the show, especially when they were in skits together. Anytime those two were together, you could expect to laugh. As a clip posted on YouTube shows, those two don’t even have to be on stage together to steal the show.

In the video, Tim is announced as the 1973 Most Outstanding Performer Emmy winner for his work on The Carol Burnett Show. However, Tim could not make it to the ceremony, so Harvey, after bounding up on stage, accepted the award on Tim’s behalf. While on stage, Harvey reads a speech written by Tim, which he confesses he had not read until he opened it on stage.

“Dear Harvey, if you are holding an Emmy with your name on it, congratulations,” the note, written by Tim, reads. “If you are holding an Emmy with my name on it, you were robbed, Tim. P.S. You know when we agreed that if you would vote for me, I would vote for you? Well, I lied.”

The studio audience erupts in laughter as Harvey finishes Tim’s note.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
